AWSXRayServletFilter with Jakarta EE 10 / SpringBoot 3.x

Question

We have an existing Java 17 app running SpringBoot 2.7.9 and are upgrading to SpringBoot 3.0.3   
Spring Boot 3 uses the Jakarta EE 10 - as a result the javax.servlet.Filter is no longer available (instead its jakarta.servlet.Filter)  
ref: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-3.0-Migration-Guide#jakarta-ee   
Given the above, we can no longer trace incoming requests - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-sdk-java-filters.html 
Are there alternatives are available to resolve this?  (eg updated AWS SDK, alternative filter suggestions?)

-- updated --  
I see in the github repo that a Jakarta compatible servlet has been merged into the master branch, so I guess this is just pending a  new release

Answer

Hello,

Thank you for providing your valuable feedback on the service. The service team is aware of the issue regarding AWSXRayServletFilter/javax.servlet.Filter with respect to the new version of Spring and is working on providing a fix.

While I am unable to comment on when the support for  jakarta.servlet.Filter may get released, I kindly suggest you to monitor the GitHub issue https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-java/issues/364  for further updates. Also, I request you to keep an eye on our [Whats' New](https://aws.amazon.com/new/?whats-new-content-all.sort-by=item.additionalFields.postDateTime&whats-new-content-all.sort-order=desc&awsf.whats-new-categories=*all) and [Blog](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/) pages for any new feature announcements. As an alternative, kindly consider migrating to [OpenTelemetry](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/java-sdk).
